For those that haven't talked to me in a while, I've got great news. I finally found the motivation to get things back on track. Last June I slowly let my life fall apart when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. As a result of that I let myself get out of shape and I gained back the 50 pounds I had lost years ago plus some extra.
I am proud to say that on February 26th (6 weeks ago) I started eating right again and as of today I was down 20 pounds, only 50 more to go. :) I was able to put on a pair of jeans I bought last August but never fit. I've been going strong and have felt no real desire to cheat. My goal has been 1600-1800 calories per day and 30 carbs and I consistantly stay on target every day.
Tonight I did my first real workout in over a year. I'm exhausted but it feels great. I bought a balance ball and 2 pound weights for sculpting and worked out in the basement. Superman stretches, stomach crunches with the weights, push ups, bicep pushes, leg lifts, stair stepping, and some stretching to become even more flexible. I just need to find a good pilates tape now and I think I'm set.
Watch out world... here comes the old Wenchie.
